Do you guys calculate bay windows GLA?

[65076507]

Do bay windows that stick out say 2ft x 5 ft count as GLA? Do you guys include them in your sketch?

 

[Mr Rex]

If the bay extends all the way down to the finished floor, then it is GLA.

 

[Mike Boyd]

I agree with Rex. One could argue that if it has a seat it could also be called GLA.

If it is just a window that pops out, no. If the frame of the house pops out with or with out sitting area, yes.

 

[Mztk1]

To the floor yes. Box windows, or windows with a seat no, unless the seat lifts up and there is storage to the floor.

 

[Thomas N. Morgan]

Yes, if the frame goes all the way to the floor. Otherwise, no.

 

[Marcia Langley]

Frame to floor yes, otherwise no.

 

[Oh No Not Him]

Yes on bays..no on Bows which are the other type being mentioned here.

 

[CANative]

What about fireplaces?

Chimney framing on the outside? Include?

Chimney on the inside? Exclude?

lol

 

[Tom Woolford]

If you can't walk on it, it ain't GLA (as long as it meets other ASTM standards).
